Actually the title is supposed to spell movie quotes. But I'm trying to make it sound like it's a new invention or something. Just that. No profound meaning. I guess cold evenings provide space for absurdity. Anyhow, I'm listing twenty of my favorite movie quotes and my take on them.

"Your forgeries are your safe place. Being yourself would be a risk." - Incognito
Rather true. And it's not on the top of my list for no reason.

"There is no point in being nuts when you can't have fun." - A Beautiful Mind
There's no point in embarrassing yourself in public if your audience doesn't get embarrassed in return. You think I'm talking about audience participation huh? You have no idea.

"What we have lost will never be returned to us. All we can do is learn from the past and make peace with it." - Cold Mountain
If you discover a half-sister/brother, you can either make war or enjoy the benefits of having an older sibling.

"You cannot find peace by avoiding life" - The Hours
And it's really a lot more distressing and a lot less rewarding to do things that are required than those which are wanted. Like tomorrow, I have to wake up at 4:30 because I had to help the production of a certain short film for my practicum at 5:30 when almost everyday I sleep at 1:30. And I'm feeling compelled. And it's not good.

"When was the last time you felt good about anything?" - Saving Private Ryan
It'll make you feel better, and even look better, if you try to be more optimistic, carefree and cheerful. And sometimes, we need to be reminded of that. And I guess this is placed below that "The Hours" quote for some kind of motivation.

"If writings did not exist, what terrible depressions we should suffer." - The Pillow Book
That's why I'm blogging. To cover the silence.

"You're cute when you care." - Toy Story 2
Everyone gets more beautiful when kind.

"All good things to those who wait." - The Silence of The Lambs
Some people get kinder without pressure. And sometimes Christmas gifts tend to have more monetary value when late. And sometimes, repeating that "Toy Story 2" quote would help.

"You don't throw away a whole life just 'cause he's banged up a little." - Seabiscuit
Watch Seabiscuit!

"There was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in." - American Beauty
Simple sceneries like a smiling child or a beautiful dog or the wind carrying someone's hair can erase worries and sometimes even fears. True. It takes a psychop... err a weirdo, to understand one. And yes, whenever I hold the camera, things tend to appear in a different fashion. Dead people looks more appetizing. Kidding!

"Sometimes people need a little help. Sometimes people need to be forgiven. And sometimes they need to go to jail." - Magnolia
And sometimes, they need to be killed so that other people will get happier.

"Truth is cool but unattainable... the truth is totally amazing, but you can't ever reach it." - Y Tu Mamá También
Talk about Philosophy 101 and 102.

"Jesus didn't come to free us from pain. He came to give us the strength to bear it." - 21 Grams
Then about Theology 121.

"I think a man does what he can, until his destiny is revealed." - The Last Samurai
I think everyone should exert effort into finding what's he's made for, what's his purpose. Otherwise he'll be damned.

"Love is all about timing. There's no use meeting the right one too early or too late." - 2046
Yeah. No use hitting on your granddaughter's classmate nor your grandmother's friend.

"Have you ever wanted to be with someone so badly, but you can't?" - X2
Sappiness overload! Someone save me!

"Please let fate take its proper course." - Serendipity
Some things are just not meant to be. Some things are not meant to be just now. And some things are just some things.

"When I look at you, I can feel it. And-and I look at you, and I... and I'm home." - Finding Nemo
There are some people in our lives whose mere presence is enough to give us security and confidence. And It's really wonderful to boss them arou.. err.. have them around.

"You don't know what it is when you try, and you try, and you try and you never get there!" - I am Sam
I feel the same way most of the time. Everyday.

"Life is like a box of chocolates" - Forrest Gump
It should be taken in occasional tiny servings and not to be devoured. No articulate reason.
